If you are getting a public ip address from the ADSL device then connect RV042 to the AdSL device and then configure the settings for wrt54g connected to RV042.with DHCP disbled and connected from LAN on RV to lan On WRT.

WIreless Router WRT54GS and DSL Modem

I'm going fo a week of trying without any success in configuring my wireless net at home. The modem is ok, configured by my ISP and gives me Internet easily when I attach the cable diretcly to my notebook. However, when I put the Linksys router in between it never works, neither wired, nor wireless.
I've tried a lot of things, including change the modem from router to bridge (when I turned it to bridge it never worked, forcing me to go back to the routing mode). So, the modem is already doing the authentication, it's configured as PPPoe. What I need is to make the Router only do the job of transmit is wirelessly, and that is what I'm not achieving.
note: My OS is Windows XP and the router lights it all normally when connected. I even see the wireless network broadcasted with the name I chose and excellent signal, but even if I succeed in conecting to it, I can't navigate at all.
note 2: I've tried the Linksys CD and the Easy Link Advisor, and both failed before completing the installation. The Easy link couldn't see the modem. The cd always stopped while trying to configure or to acess the Internet.
I beg for someone to solve this cause for the first time in my life I'm considering pay for some tech to resolve this.

well, can u pls tell who is ur isp??
try to config the router manually instead of using cd---reset router---open setup page---check Internet IP Address in Status page
if ip: 192.168.x.x, then, in the WRT54GS, local page change the local ip to: 192.168.2.1---power cycle entire n/w---this should work
pls check this 1st, and let us know---we can proceed further from there

I just bought a router WRT54G and a Compact wireless-G

i just bought a router WRT54G and a Compact wireless-G and by the time to connect them it seems that both things work correctly but there are two icons that show if u are connect to the internet, so here is the problem one icon says that my connection is excellent, but the other ones says that my connectivity is limited or there is not connectivity at all.
What should i do to fix that problem i've tried everything i think but nothing happened?

Is the "limited connectivity" icon the icon for your ethernet card (which presumably is not plugged in, and therefore has no connectivity) ? If so, then this icon is reporting its connection correctly. You do not need to fix it.

Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2

I was just curious, since I have been talking to someone about the Linksys Routers and they were saying that WRT54G Versions 3, 4 & 5, all work successfully. Then when I asked him about Version 2, he said that he THINKS that the router will work.
Can someone please give me an answer: Will the Linksys Wireless Router: WRT54G Version: 2 work with a MacBook Pro?!

I get from 3 to 6 Mbps wireless and wired, which is considerably slower than my other Windows-based desktop and notebook over my 30 Mbps cable connection. My Dell notebook and desktop consistently get 15 Mbps wireless and 22 to 28 Mbps wired. Mac OS is relatively new to me, so I haven't had a chance to read as much I need to about optimizing connection speeds. But, I can either fix it by optimizing it, or perhaps Apple will come out with a firmware update since some people have been complaining about slow connections speeds and dropping connections.
In my work, I have several computers going at the same time, and for typical Web surfing, I see no difference in speed between the 6 Mps on the Mac and the 15 Mpbs on the Dell---it's really limited anyway by the Web site server. I do notice a difference in download times, but even for very large files, the difference is noticeable but not a problem. And, there has never been a problem streaming video or downloading trailers, etc.
Of course, only five years ago, my cable connection was first 128 Kbps (which was high speed then), then they jumped it up 1 Mpbs, then 10 Mbps, and now 30 Mbps---so the 6 Mbps on the Mac still seems pretty fast to me.
Speed will always be slower over the wireless compared to your Ethernet connection, but once you get speeds in excess of 1 Mbps, you only see the difference in download times, surfing is the same.

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated.

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated. I don't want to put on a password if I can avoid it. Thanks for you advice in advance. Milwaukie

Trying to confine a wireless signal to your home is not a practical solution to security concerns. The distance that a wireless signal will travel is mainly limited by the receiving antena and sensitivity of the receiver. An ordinary wireless receiver can probably pick up your signal for 200 to 1000 feet. A great receiver could probably pick up your signal from a mile or more. The best alternatives are:
a) convert your system to a wired system, or,
b) encrypt your wireless using a good encryption method (WPA or preferably WPA2) and use a strong password.

I have bought a wireless router WRT150N and configured it...

I have bought a wireless router WRT150N and configured it. I have a DSL Cable modem. I am not able to connect to Internet sites (even when connected to the router through cable). I have a VPN client in my laptop and i am able to connect it. after connecting the vpn i am able to browse all the sites. why i am not able to browse the sites without connecting the vpn? If i directly connect to the modem (i.e without router) i am able to browse.
Is there any configuration settings i am missing out?

Yes i think you are missing some configuration setings on the router ....
As it is a DSL connection .... you can use this link to configure the router using DSL connection ....

Lost IP access to Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4. How to restore?

Apologies for the long post and multiple questions. If you can answer at least one of them, I will be appreciative!
While attempting to set-up wireless networking between my new Westell Model 6100G and Linksys wireless router WRT54GS v.4 (with most recent upgraded firmware), I lost access to the Linksys. When I hooked up the Linksys again via Ethernet to my XP PC with the modem no longer connected, I was unable to access it via IP 192.168.1.1. All I get is a blank web browser page (with the usual “diagnose, etc.” button). I assumed this is because the IP address conflicts with IP for the Westell, but I am also concerned if it is hardware failure. I have tried resetting the router, but no luck. I have tried ipconfig /all which gave me a different ip address. But when I tried to access the Linksys using this ip address, I was unsuccessful. I hooked up the router to a different pc with no present Internet access and tried IP 192.168.1.1, but still no luck. Trying the IP I got from ipconfig /all at this new pc failed as well.
Is there a chance I have a hardware failure? I had access last night when the linksys was at its original location (I only checked it once before turning in), but I seem to have lost access ever since I moved it closer to my desk and to a new electrical outlet. When turned on, the Linksys has green lights in the right places, so it looks fine, but, again, no access via IP.
If it’s not hardware failure, how do I find out what IP address the Linksys actually uses now if it is no longer 192.168.1.1? Or how do I change it?
Is a WRT54GS v.4 worth the trouble or should I start over and upgrade to a newer router?
Is Linksys the best choice with the Westell 6100G? The configuration procedures seem very complicated compared to my ease of router/modem configuring in the past.
Solved!

"_when I setup the Westell modem in bridge mode, will I lose my Internet connection?_ "
Answering my own question: "yes."
I found what looks like a good step-by-step guide to hooking up a Westell 6100 to a Linksys
router at:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/vz/4._Hardware#13600
It provides more detail and up-to-date illustrations than Verizon's instructions at
https://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/SetUp/QuestionsOne/87126.htm
(which appear to be for an earlier version of the Westell 6100), although they are otherwise similar. The DSLreports faq confirms that Internet and IP access to the modem will be lost during the setup phase. For a "newbie" at such linking, this bit of information is very helpful!
Thank you, Telcoguru, for confirming that I should have followed the instructions exactly from beginning to end before becoming concerned and skipping steps.
I will close this thread and wait for a long lazy day, to try linking the Westell and the Linksys again. If I need to post again, it will hopefully be with more specific questions about specific steps that haven't worked as they should.

Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3

I just purchsed and installed a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3. It works great in my somewhat small ranch type house. I'm presently just using it so I can wireless access the internet with my Dell notebook computer from any room in my house. My operating system is Windows XP. If I decide to upgrade to Windows Vista in the future will my Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Version 3 still work ok?
Frank

yes, i think it will work... just make sure that the firmware of your router is up-to-date with the latest releases from linksys... you can check it out at http://www.linksys.com/downloads and just choose the model no. and version of your router... also, try to check the knowledge base website at http://www.linksys.com/kb ... i hope this helps... good luck buddy

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.

IP issue on wireless with WRT54G and new laptop

Hello,
I just got a new laptop after having gone over a year without one on my home network and I have an issue...
The laptop sees the WRT54G wireless router, says it connects to said router, and then tells me it can't obtain an IP from the router. I vaguely remember when my desktop PC used windows XP and I had this little tool that worked with the WRT54G when I last had a laptop on my home network, and I had the same issue until I 'authorized' it. That tool doesn't seem to exist anymore online and my desktop has had a fresh install of Windows 7 for what seems like ages... Nothing I change in settings seems to get the laptop an IP wirelessly, anyone have any suggestions...?

Oddly, I found a strange, but far easier solution... plugging it in through a wired connection then removing said wire after using the network gave the laptop an IP address and let it work perfectly wirelessly... Though I'm not sure why that should be... It only makes sense if the router doesn't give out IP's to wireless connections for some odd reason...
Oh and I created and manually recreated the connection at least 3 times... With no effect... I even switched from WPA to WEP to wide open while trying to get it to work (it's back on WPA again now) when trying to find a solution... None got me more than limited connectivity as it wasn't getting an IP address from the router, even though it was connecting...

Wireless Router WRT54G Setup without CD - Having problems with manual setup

Hi. I have a WRT54G wireless router that I haven't used in years because my old cable provider supplied me with a router. I recently switched cable providers & they don't provide a wireless routers. I would like to use my WRT54G router, but I don't have the cd. I figured it wasn't a problem because I can just do a manual setup using the ip address 192.168.1.1. I receive the pop up window to enter the user name & password. I follow the instructions & just type in the password field the word admin & l left the user name blank but it doesn't work. Can someone please help? I know that I can fix this problem. It doesn't make sense to spend money for another router when this can be a simple fix. Thanks in advance for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree to sabretooth, you must do a reset on the router. You must have setup a password before to access the router page. Resetting the router will reset it's settings to the factory default settings. Push and hold the reset button for 30seconds then power it off for 10-15seconds. Once the power light goes solid, go ahead and reconfigure your router. This link should help you: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service

Wireless Router WRT54G

Hello,
Can someone assist me. I hooked my my wireless router and now when I connect to Windows Live Messenger and do Request Remote Assistance it will not work at all. I connect through there and someone can help me with my pc problems. I did a port forward to port 3389 for messenger but it still will not go through. If someone knows what I need to do to get this to work, I would appreciate it. I am sure it is something in the settings but not sure what I need to adjust. thanks.

The easiest way to do it is to set that pc up as a DMZ. That opens all port to that pc which opens it for attack. Now its only a temporary fix but will allow remote acess .

WIRELESS ROUTER WRT160N AND HP PSC 2510

I JUST INSTALLED THE WRT160N ON MY DELL DESKTOP AND CAN ALSO SEE IT FROM MY LAPTOP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOW MY PRINTER CANNOT CONNECT TO IT WIRELESSLY. I PRINTED A NETWORK CONFIG PAGE AND IT SAYS NETWORK NAME IS LINKSYS WHICH WAS THE OLD WIRELESS ROUTER THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE SMART AND CHANGE THE NETWORK NAME WHEN I INSTALLED THIS NEW ROUTER TO BE MORE SECURE, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. HOW CAN I GO BACK AND RENAME THE NETWORK. THE BLUE LIGHT ON THE TOP OF MY PRINTER SHOULD LIGHT UP WHEN IT IS CONNECTED BUT IT DOESN'T
THANKS

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok. .....
Click on wireless tab .... change the network name SSID to your required name ... click save settings ... .Also go to wireless security tab ..... change the security level as you like it ...
Check thel ight on the Printer ....
if not Power cycle the Router & Printer ....
